Join us as we continue Season 5 on Life Purpose and Calling by speaking with two friends that I consider mentors in my community. Birch and Diana Cannon are what I would consider true elders. ‘ When we can let go of our own need for everything to be as we want it, and our own need to succeed, we can then encourage the independent journey and the success of others. The [elder] is able to relinquish center stage and to stand on the sidelines, and thus be in solidarity with those who need their sup...

In this episode, you will have the pleasure of hearing how an Enneagram 5, Evan Doyle, moves through the world, how he changed his career from a pastor of 18 years, now helping others find their most suitable career path through his creation of the Enneagram Career Guide.

In this episode, I momentarily break from the theme of Season 3 (Nature) to share with you what God laid on my heart. I talk about a past mistake that I made years ago, and the associated shame and regret that has (until recently) been holding onto me, keeping me from showing up to life in the way God intended. I talk about how I was taught to use the thought model to harness those innermost buried thoughts, digging deeper until I found the root. Then I talked about how I was able to finally let...

In this (mini) episode, I bring my infinite love of nature as a biologist to discuss its restorative effects, particularly on the brain's ability towards productive, proactive thinking. These are my thoughts from 3 years ago, combined with recent information that I've come across. I saw a connection between this information and thought it worthy to share here, during season 3 which focuses on nature. This is a public episode.

We did it! My husband and I finally recorded a podcast episode together. We had to wait until all of the kids went to sleep away camp, but we finally did it! It's been in the works for a while, as I planned for Season 3 of the podcast to focus on nature and how different people interact with it through their jobs, hobbies, or for therapeutic purposes. We met through our passion for nature so it seemed only fitting to let the first episode of a season about nature be with Chisolm. As an Enneagram...

This is the last episode closing our second season of the podcast in which we discussed the idea of mentorship in many different flavors. My goal of this season was to encourage everyone that there are many ways to receive support and to remove any stigma attached in doing so. This episode hits a very personal space for me since it features my journey with life coach (and now friend), Kristin Messegee. She is an Enneagram 6 who I found on Facebook where she runs her group, Life Coaching for Enne...

I’ve always been amazed by their kindness, patience, and faithfulness to God’s call in their lives. During our conversation, they provide so much good, practical advice on how to walk through anxiety, read your Bible without the help ...
